"English is the lingua franca of India and is the language of their cultural and political elites, offering significant economic and social advantage to fluent speakers"

Some random googling for "average daily electric usage" seems to indicate that Americans use about 20-30 kWh per day. So a 10 kWh battery will only over 1/2 to a 1/3 of day. As a power backup this seems pretty flimsy. People would have to buy 2 or 3 of these for a single day power backup, which seems a little crazy. Maybe in combination with solar/wind? I dunno, a generator seems more practical, you can just go buy more gas for it.
Maybe if my applianced knew when they are running on battery power and could auto adjust their consumption. Otherwise, I am just going to find out about a major power outage a few hours after everyone else.
Using it for cheeper electricity is a little funny too. Currently, electricity is already cheep. Even if it cut my electricity bill in half, its not really all that much per month. It's like cutting my bathroom tissue costs in half, not really going to make me a rich man.
Wikipedia says [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_copyright_law] that first copy right was in 1710 and we all know that before 1710 there were no successful artists.
Not using the new JavaScript engine in UIWebView (the component used to render web like content) is a good thing in my eyes. It is pretty hard to debug JavaScript apps in UIWebView, since you don't have things like a DOM inspector or a JavaScript debugger. By keeping the engine the same, they have guaranteed that the existing UIWebView based apps will continue to function after the upgrade to 4.3. Imagine if every app making heavy use of UIWebView had subtle errors after the upgrade...
I *would* like to see the faster engine available to UIWebView, but in the mean time, I will take compatibility.

Of course, Sun puts the dot in dot com!

you can turn a tree off, simply cut it down and use the wood. wood is lot more useful to me then liquid CO2.

and take on of those Russian thingies back down. What a great way to immortalize them and add huge capacity to the space station.
